BMC Mainframe Research

Perspectives and insights from our 2016 survey

Once again, more than 1,200 professionals from a broad set of companies, industries, and geographies participated in the annual BMC mainframe survey, the largest survey of its kind. Respondents enthusiastically told us about mainframe usage in their organizations and shared their outlook on the platform.

This year’s research uncovered increased activity driven by digital business requirements for highly available and secure access to apps and data. These factors power the mainframe's strong long-term outlook.
